Black Sabbath - Dear Father Lyrics
A childhood innocence was drowned in your tearsThe demons that you fought are feeding your fearsThe poisoned secrets of your life stand revealedThe truth destroys you which no longer concealsDear Father, forsakenYou knew what you were doingIn silence, your violenceHas left my life in ruins, yeah!In ruins, yeah!You preyed upon my flesh then prayed for my soulBelief betrayed by lust of faith that you stoleIndoctrination by a twisted desireThe catechism of an evil messiahDear Father, forgive meI know just what I'm doingIn silence, this violenceWill leave your life in ruins, yeah!In ruins, yeah!Preacher of theocracyHiding your hypocrisyUnder a false sanctityHoly phony empathyYou have taken my lifeNow it's your turn to die!Can you sleep at night?When you close your eyes, do you think of all the pain from your lies?Or do you deny, you're responsible for the victims of the sins you devised?What you gonna tell them, when they ask you well then?Is your conscience brewed in your heart?There is no exception, when you seek redemptionFor all the lives that you've torn apart!Your molestations of the cross you defiledA man once holy, now he spies and revilesYou took possession when confessing my sinsAnd now you have to face whatever death brings, yeah!Dear Father, forsakenYou knew what you were doingIn silence, your violenceHas left my life in ruins, yeah!In ruins, yeah, yeah, yeah!In ruins, yeah!
